School District No. 67

What School District No. 67 does

School District No. 67 (Okanagan Skaha) is a public K-12 school district in British Columbia, Canada, serving the communities of Penticton, Summerland, and surrounding electoral areas in the Okanagan region. It operates 15 or more schools providing education to approximately 5,000–6,000 students, with programs spanning early learning (StrongStart, Just B4, Ready Set Learn, Seamless Day Kindergarten), elementary and secondary education, a Late French Immersion program that has been continuously offered since 1983, career development, inclusive education, Indigenous education, and international student programs. The district also operates a Home/Online Learning program and a public-facing careers portal (careers67.ca).

The district's technology stack relies on standard educational platforms rather than proprietary systems: Brightspace for learning management, MyEducationBC for student information, EdPlan Insight for special education planning, Clevr, School Cash Online, and MySchoolBucks for fee management. The district maintains a public "Artificial Intelligence" information page directed at parents, but no proprietary AI products, in-house models, or AI research activity are disclosed.

Financially, the district operates on a government-grant model: approximately 96% of operating revenue comes from the British Columbia Ministry of Education in the form of operating grants allocated on a per-FTE-student basis, with the balance derived from international student tuition, facility rentals, ancillary fees, Indigenous education agreements, and special-purpose provincial or federal funding. The district is governed by an elected Board of Education and is currently led by Superintendent Todd Manuel and Secretary-Treasurer Nicole Bittante.
